>>We may disagree, but I sincerely appreciate the good faith
Choosing an ideology that ALWAYS leads to poverty, loss of freedom, and death can not be in “good faith”. The most “well-meaning” Socialist is still the enemy of all that is good.
Agreed! Selling socialism to the young and idealistic is easy though. Hey friends and neighbors; how would you like it if you all made the same money and were guaranteed a job so you could focus more on what matters most in your life like family? If so; socialism is for you!
The only catch is it eventually leads to the things you mentioned but the seller always leaves that out of the sales pitch.
